Being in fashion often means thinking ahead of the curve, anticipating what's next and doing it all while looking fabulous. Melodrama Boutique owner Jackie Adams does all three at her Almeda store that walks the stilleto-ed line between "right now" and what's "five minutes from now." Her contemporary shop is full of clothes that say something from color and graphics to details and interesting cuts. Adams is all about encouragment, too, and she actively seeks local jewelry and handbag designers for her store like KarmaSoul International. Once a hub just for women's clothing and accessories, Melodrama also houses a menswear line and lands exclusive collections such as with designer Selven O'Keefe Jarmon. Prices are affordable (much of the store is under $100) and sizes go up to 12 in women's.
